How to Keep the Carriage New.

The preservation of q carriage depends
largely upon the way in which it is
housed. The barn or shed ehould be
airy and dry, with moderate admis-
sion Of light, otherwise the colors of
painting and lining will be affected. Do
not let the vehicle be rolled near brick
wall, as the dampness of the wall will fade
the co!ors and destroy the varnish. The
coach house should not be connected
with the stable or next the manure pit,
since the ammonia fumes rising from the
manure will do more to crack and ruin
varnish, and ruin colors of paint and
lining, than all other causes put together.
Do not allow mud to dry on a newly
vanished carriage; spots and stains will
be the result if you do. Do not permit
water to dry itself on vanished surface,
but remove all moisture with chamois
leather only, after the soft sponge has
been used. Do not let, the leather top
carriages lie long unused with the tops
down, but raise occasionally, taking of
the strain on the leather and net-stay by
slightly easing the joints. Keep the
moths out of cushions and Innings by
frequent brushing. Examine the .axle'
often; keep we'll oiled and see that tht
washers are in good order.

very good, but one should be cautious
and examine closely before purchasing.
AS rule it is better to buy home raised
seed, if it is possible, when one is under
the necessity of buying at all. For
spring oats, SOW spring-grown seed, and
those from q region south of your locali-
ty are preferable to those from a point
north of you. We need fully acclimated
varieties. Sow as early as possible; it is
just as we'll to risk killing by cold when
crop is sown early, as to run the gaunt.
let of destruction by the drought and
rust in the spring when crop is sown
late. Rich land and bottom land may be
sown later than poor upland. Have seen
good crops of oats on bottom land sown
in March. 1t is always we'll to SOW some
of the oat crop on such land, if one has
any that is we'll drained. Bottom lands
need occasional rest from corn crops, and
if the spring is very dry, an oat crop on
bottoms pays very handsomely. By all
means SOW large crop of oats, and give
it fair chance.

Happiness as it is in Youth and Ma.
turity.

Isn't it q little queer that as We grow
from youth to manhood. the objects
change which bring us pleasure? The
amount of happiness realized varies but
little! There seems to be certain
amount of the article implanted in US;
no more no less. The boys sled gives
place to the richly capariaoned sleigh,
the toy house to the imposing residence,
the toy waEch to the real one, the toy
boat to az ocean yacht-but the first
yield quite as much pleasure as the last.
The Christmas gifts and pleasures of
youth brought as much happiness as
houses and lands, honors and fame do
in after years. Our happiness is all re-
lative, any way. We enjoy by compare
son. The boys sled is big enough to fill
his mind. The mans yacht is merely g.
toy, which has its use for a time and
then ceases to amuse. Christmas is q
reality to the young-a definite pleasure
point. To the full grown boys and girls
it is an attempt to arouse the old en-
thusiasm, The belief in Santa Clause, the
enjoyment in gift giving and gift receiv-
ing. 1t comes aud goes, and they try
hard to persuade themselves that they
enjoyed it with an old time zest.

COurtfng.

Select the girl. Agree with the girls
father in politics and the mother in reli-
gion. If you have rival keep an eye
on him; if he is widower keep two
eyes on him. Don't swear to the girl
that you have no bad habits. 1t will be
enough for you to say that you never
heard yourself snore in your sleep.
Don't put too much sweet stuff on paper;
if you do, you will hear it read in after
years, when your wife has some special
purpose in inAicting on you the severest
punishment known to married man.
Go home at reasonable hour in the
evening. Don't wait until the girl hes to
throw her soul into yawn that she can't
cover with both hands. A little thing
like that might cause GOODNESS at the
very beginning of the game. In cold
weather finish saying good night in the
house. Don't stretch it all the way to
the front gate, and thus lay the founda-
ton for future asthma, bronchitis, neu-
ralgia, and chronic catarrh, to help worry
the girl to death after she has married
you.
Don't lie about your financial condi-
tion. 1t is very annoying to bride who
has pictured for her ancestral halls, to
learn too late that you expect her to ask
bald headed parent who has been uni.
formly kind to her, to take you in out of
the cold.
Don't be too soft. Don't say: 'These
little hands shall never do stroke of
work when they are mine," and "you
shall have nothing to Go in our home all
day long but .chirp to the cauaries," as
if any sensible woman could be happy
fooling away time in that sort of style

for soft things and silly promises of court

The Better Time.

The man in rags, the drunkard and
the man in good circumstances, all hope
for better time. The wretch who be.
lieves, after repeated trials, that he has
not the strength of will to master his
alcoholic appetite, will, as he trelnblingly
lifts the glass, say: "Well, here's
hoping" Hoping for wbat7 A better
time, he Gays. What good can a better
time d. bim2 The world might be full
of happiness, wages might be ten times
as high and the neceasaries of life ten
times as cheap, and still so long as he
yields to his appetite, there is no hope
for him. The ragged tramp hopes for q
better time; not for time when work
shall be more plentiful, but time when
servants shall be little more prompt in
handing out something through the
kitchen window, or mayhap, for a time
when people, after giving him clothes,
shall insist upon his taking dinner with
them. The man who is comfortably
situated, who has fair business, hopes
for better time. What better time
does he want? He provides we'll for his
family, dresses we'll and goes to places
Of amusement when his business for the
day is closed, yet he is waiting and
hoping for a better time. That better
time usually comes with an undertaken
at one end of it. A little philosophy,
the philosophy Of resignation should be
literally mixed with hope. Hope is
nearly always disappointed; philosophy
never is. Hopeis is extfavagant; philos-
ophy is economical. Let the man in
rags, the drunkard and the man in good
circumstances think of these things.
Well, here's hoping.-Arkansaao Traveller.
